Scope and Content

These 2 copy documents concern a court case at the District Court, Hamburg in 1943, in which the paternity and racial origins of Anna Mathilde Sara Jacobsen are subject to examination. Included are the verdict of the court and the report of Professor Dr. Hans Weinert of the Anthropological Institute of Kiel University. The documents offer some insight into the pseudo-scientific procedures of racial research during the Nazi era.
